Anyone can get Long Covid, meaning everyone deserves the right to mask. No questions asked. #NoNYMaskBan
Anyone who gets COVID-19 can get Long COVID. However, some people have a higher chance of getting Long COVID than others because they are at greater risk of getting COVID-19 in the first place or having more severe illness. Learn more: https://t.co/pjllWvpwgj

Politicians across New York have shown support for enacting mask bans under the guise of stopping crime. But in reality, it will undermine public health, and surveil + criminalize protestors with unpopular views. Add your name to reject mask bans in NY: https://t.co/vhkxKXlnsz

Please take action!

Wearing a mask should not be a crime. From Nassau County to New York City to Yonkers and beyond: Politicians should not be exploiting the law to score political points and target protestors.
Another city in New York State, Yonkers, is proposing a mask ban. The punishment includes fines, and there are exceptions for health or religious purposes.

It makes no sense to give MORE power to an indicted mayor who’s moving NYC in the wrong direction. Now he’s trying to change the city’s constitution to give himself & his interests more unchecked power & weaken checks-&-balances. Vote NO on Props 2-6 #Nix2through6 #Election2024

It’s a trick, NOT a treat. Props 2-6 would give Mayor Adams’ would give him and his interests more power and upset #NYC’s system of checks-&-balances that are vital to local democracy. Vote NO on Props 2-6. #Nix2through6 #election2024
PARENTS: Be sure to check your kid's candy this Halloween! My neighbor just found some sneakily surreptitious proposals hidden in their kid's bucket! Agggghhh!!!👻#NIX2through6
